Brian, Katie, Kurt, & Kerry, So sorry to hear about the loss of your dad (the coach). I will always remember the great times we had together, from backyard parties to trips to Fenway. And especially the sports trivia calls. We could always count on the coach to settle a bet. He is now hanging out with his idols, Babe and the Mick. Rest in Peace. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
